Just finished up my submission<\/a>, on time and even somewhat complete! \u00a0I feel like I did pretty well for my first Ludum Dare, though I was classically short on time and long on ambitions. \u00a0I had to cut a lot of features so the game’s progression doesn’t scale the way I’d envisioned, but it’s at least playable.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The game’s biggest lacks (in it’s current state) are:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Poor progression for bots\/towers<\/li>\n
  2. No sound<\/li>\n
  3. Inconsistent fonts and sprite resolutions (I’m not an artist)<\/li>\n
  4. …and of course, a general lack of balance and polish, because I’ve barely had time to play it and tweak numbers.<\/li>\n <\/ol>\n

    Despite all that, I impressed myself with being able to turn in something reasonably complete and playable on time, that doesn’t seem to crash (fingers crossed!) and might even sometimes be… fun?<\/p>\n

    Looking forward to playing everyone else’s entries, and already thinking ahead to the next LD!<\/p>\n

    Now, I think it’s time for some R & R.<\/p>","time":"August 26th, 2012 6:38 pm","title":"Robo Rancher Retrospective"}
